LAWRENCE — Kansas’ preparation this week included some extra down time.

The Jayhawks weren’t taking extra breaks, but rather preparing for the possibility of one during Saturday’s game against Oklahoma State.

“We had a whole game plan,” coach Charlie Weis said. “They were coached exactly how we were going to handle it if there was a delay.”

Long-range forecasts showed the possibility of severe weather in Lawrence, so KU was prepared when play was halted late in the first quarter of Saturday’s 20-14 loss. The teams were sent to their respective locker rooms and fans were asked to clear the stands while thunderstorms moved through the area.
